The seller offers for sale a Jaguar XK 120 OTS from 1953. This cabriolet is powered by a six-cylinder petrol engine with a displacement of 3.4 liters and is paired with a manual gearbox. The car was restored by a well-known Spanish specialist with strong expertise in Jaguar models. During the restoration process, the body was dismantled and refinished in line with factory methods used at the time. The interior was recreated using period-correct materials, respecting the original configuration of the car. The underside is described as clean and free from corrosion. Both engine and gearbox were rebuilt during the restoration, and the engine runs well while the gearbox shifts smoothly. The car has not been involved in accidents and no damage is reported.
The Jaguar XK 120 OTS does not come with a soft top or hard top. As an open two-seater, it is presented as a pure roadster focused on open-air driving.
The Jaguar XK 120 is regarded as one of the most influential sports cars of the early 1950s. When introduced, it was the fastest production car of its time and helped establish Jaguar as a leading manufacturer of performance-oriented road cars. Its flowing body lines, strong six-cylinder engine, and engaging driving characteristics made it popular with both private owners and motorsport enthusiasts. The OTS version offered a lightweight and direct driving experience, contributing to the model’s lasting appeal. Today, the XK 120 remains highly regarded for its design, driving involvement, and historical importance within the Jaguar brand and the wider classic car world.
